I don't know if Diane has put it in as a spot the difference competition but can anyone see the point in the drawing that spans page 168 and 169? To my eye it is all repeated on the drawing over page 170 & 171 which also shows a couple of additional levers.

Also a question for the Myford aficianardos, on the original Myford item did the lever on the right rotate the turret one position when moved much like you find on a repitition lathe or does it only release the indexing pin as the author has his?

Jason I cannot speak for Myford lathes, but in operation, the turret on the capstan production lathes I worked on was rotated automatically I step when the turret was withdrawn from the work. The release lever allowed the turret to be spun round to what ever station required for setting up. If we did not have a full complement of tools in the turret it was quicker to advance and withdraw the turret to rotate it to the next tool than use both hands to use the release the lever. The chances were that the spare hand would be doing something else.
